I'm pretty sure that's not a pinhole eye, looks more along the lines of a likely disorganized and slightly open eye. I will say that I think it'll be a hurricane at the next update...

Getting a high octane boost from the SST rise out there in the last few weeks.

Waters across the main development region of the Atlantic have warmed considerably since mid-August. Now trail only 2010 and 2005. #tropics pic.twitter.com/44ztLl5PF1

The strong trade winds have kept SSTs down untill recently. However, most of that water was mixed with the deeper ocean. Scary prospects going forward.

GFS makes me skeptical with rapid pressure falls. Goes from 958 to 929 in 18 hours. It's possible of course but rapid drops like that out in time are very hard to predict. 

Yeah after toggling to see what it was....I noticed that as well.  Either way, should be purdy.
